Religious Studies

INTRODUCTION
Course Overview
Admission Requirements

Nigeria’s philosophy of Education provides that instruction should be oriented to, among others, moral and spiritual values requisite for smooth and stable interpersonal and human relations.  It is geared towards the production of teachers who possess full awareness of God in relationship with man and whose personal character and discipline reflect authentic Christian values, and such that they will be able to function effectively as custodians of sound, moral and spiritual qualities particularly in their interaction with young learners in the primary and junior secondary schools. Courses are designed to enable students to understand the phenomenon and social implications of religion in general.  In order to sharpen the student’s intellect and broaden their knowledge, students are exposed to courses in Christianity, Islam, African Religion, Confucianism,  Hinduism, Shintoism, Taoism,  Buddhism, etc. The aim of the department is to expose students to basic tenets of religions other than their own in order to remove ignorance. It thus emphasizes the academic content of the religions studied with a  view of producing broad-minded students who could cope with a pluralistic society such as Nigeria. At the end of the program, students will be able to;

  1. demonstrate sound knowledge and appreciation of the moral values needed  to live as Christians at the various stages  of growth and development;
  2. explore the place and significance of religion in human life
  3. logically resolve tensions and conflicts that may arise from religious interactions
  4. demonstrate professional proficiency for teaching Christian Religious Studies in primary and secondary schools
  5. express satisfactory intellectual capacity to benefit from further education in religious studies
  6. expose students to areas of learning that would make them take up careers in teaching,  administration, social work, and any useful human endeavor.

Below is the list of Programmes Under Religious Studies:

  • Christian Religious Studies
